Steamed broccoli with butter

Put about an inch of water in a wide pan, cover and bring to a boil; set an adjustable steamer basket in it.

Add the stem slices first for a head start; a minute later stack on the florets. Cover with a lid, or with foil if there is no lid.

Check after three minutes; still too firm at that point, so keep steaming until tender.

Lift out the basket (hook it with a fork if needed), dump out the water, then add butter, the broccoli and a pinch of salt.
